60 Years of Scientific Excellence

When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.

30th Anniversary Through the Kitchen Party

On Sunday, May 20, 2012, more than 280 people gathered for the 30th Annual Through the Kitchen party at the Four Seasons Restaurant. Guests sampled dishes named for New York’s iconic places before making their way to the Pool Room featuring 27 elaborately decorated tables representing famous New York City “hot spots” of past and present. Some of the featured “hot spots” included CBGB’s, Copacabana, Studio 54, the Latin Quarter, Peppermint Lounge, Limelight, Plato’s Retreat, Hogs and Heifers, the Continental Baths, Persian Room, Atlantic City, and Paddles.

A very special thanks goes to CRI trustee Lauren Veronis, who founded the event and served as a co-chair this year with her husband John Veronis, as well as to co-chairs Christine and John Fitzgibbons, Denise and Michael Kellen, Veronica Kelly, Jamie Niven, Margaret and Andrew Paul, Perri Peltz and Eric Ruttenberg, Betsy and Paul Shiverick, and Jeanne Sorensen Siegel and to the benefit committee.
